If you're going to be a British model, you might as well have huge tata's and a beautiful face like Rosie Jones. She recently starred in the 'Old Spice' commercial parody, and we see big things for her on the horizon. Enjoy!

The British Empire changed the whole world. And of course, there were a lot of reasons why it came to be. But it might never have happened were it not for the magician John Dee. He was the astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, but he was also a mathematician and cartographer. More importantly, he wrote a book called "The Perfect Art of Navigation", where he argued that England's future would be found in the seas, expanding to the "new world", and in it he was the first person to use the term "British Empire". His ideas about this were conceived in his magical studies, including his various 'operations' to converse with spirits; in his communications with "Angels" a recurring theme in their messages to him was the ascendancy of England as a world power. You can decide whether you think this was a prophetic vision, or a product of Dee's own hopes for his homeland, but regardless, the first sparks of the idea that would become the most important world empire since Rome came directly from one of history's greatest magicians.

Nicknamed "The Turtle" at the time, the first submarine attack happened on Sept. 7th 1776. It was used to attach a time bomb to British Admiral Richard Howe's boat "The Eagle" in the New York harbor. Badass!

This is Bristol, England, home of some of the most revolting scum on earth, this specimen is quite the most vile CHAV ever caught on camera. He is perhaps the greatest reason for us to belive that eventually sterilisation will be the only way to save

John Dee was a true Renaissance Man; that is, he was a master of many different fields of knowledge. One that he took a great interest in was navigation and cartography, which were cutting-edge fields of research at the time. Naturally, this also related to astronomy, one of his major fascinations, because before GPS the stars were what you used to get around. Dee 'wrote the book' on Navigation for the English; literally! It was called "General and Rare Memorials Pertaining to the Perfect Art of Navigation". But this book wasn't just some dry guide to sailing. It was a political manifesto for the Queen. In the book, Dee outlined his argument to the Crown that Britain's future would be found in exploration, navigation, and the New World (the Americas). This seems obvious today, but keep in mind that when Dee wrote it, England barely had a navy, and it had never been a naval or exploration power. Dee tried to get people all excited about the prospect of building a true British Navy, which he had foreseen would be the key to England becoming one of the great world powers. He also gave some very mythological accounts of ancient expeditions by British Kings Madoc, Brutus, and Arthur (yes, that Arthur, the excalibur guy; and you can bet that Dee saw himself as Merlin to Elizabeth's gender-flipped King Arthur). Dee claimed they discovered America before any filthy Spaniards got their hands on it. In that way, he not only justified English colonization of the Americas, but turned it into a kind of patriotic mission. To top it all off, he was the first guy to use the term "British Empire". No one back then ever imagined Britain as an 'empire', not even the British. It seemed ridiculous. But Dee saw it all coming and helped light the spark.

It's true, since the Continental Congress didn't have enough money for a Navy to help fight, they hired pirates (or privateers) to help out. They even let the pirates keep some of the money they helped themselves to from those British ships, collecting as much as $300 million dollars by today's standards.

The "Mills Bomb" No.23 was a rifle grenade adaptation of its predecessor the No.5 hand grenade. Soon after the introduction of the No.5 during WWI, reports from the field indicated a multi-purpose hand or rifle grenade was needed. Using a modified base plug, designed to accept a short rod along with a simple cradle-style cup launcher, a solution was readily achieved. Unfortunately, the basic flaw in the rod grenade idea is that using it damages the rifle and its barrel. To minimize the stress to the firearm, a short rod was used, but that reduced the effective range. Then there is the requirement of a cup (in this case a cradle) that needs to be attached to the rifle as well as the need for the bayonet to lock the cradle to the rifle! The only saving feature here is that the sights of the rifle are not obstructed by the launching cradle. The No.23 Rifle grenade was not in service long.

From the start, the British, under the direction of Martin Hale, designed some of the most complex rod grenades (grenades fired from a rifle) ever fielded during WWI. Safety was of paramount importance, and the No.3 Rod Grenade reflects this to the extreme. This grenade has an impact detonating fuze. An internal weighted firing pin moves forward on contact initiating the primer/detonator exploding the grenade. It slides inside a central tube, but is held back in flight by a light creep spring. Prior to firing, this firing pin is held in a locked safe position by two mushroom shaped “retaining bolts” set in holes in the side walls of the lower fuze housing. These bolts are retained by a threaded collar with a “windvane” feature. The windvane is immobilized by a brass locking sleeve, snapped in place below and secured by a safety pin. To operate, the grenade is inserted in the rifle, and clipped to the muzzle. The safety pin is then removed. When the grenade is launched, the sudden acceleration causes the locking sleeve to set back, freeing the windvane. Air flow causes the windvane to spin, unscrew and move downward, exposing the buttons which fall out after the grenade has traveled a safe distance. The grenade is now armed. Production was halted in January of 1915 and further orders canceled.
